Expert Answers about Chevrolet Air Suspension Compressor Kit


  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2021 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
  • My recommendation for the best suspension enhancement on your 2021 Power Wagon, is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88289. These air springs include custom fit brackets that bolt to your Ram's frame with included hardware. They have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will not affect your suspension's ability to flex when off-roading. The reason these are the best option for towing and off-roading is because these air bags have internal jounce bumpers...

  • Recommended Air Suspension for a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500

  • How to Increase the Weight Capacity of my 2008 Ford F 2-50 Super Duty
  • According to the F-250 Super-Duty owners manual, You can tow up to 12,500 lbs. with the 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty depending on how it is equipped, so you may be over the load capacity for your truck which is dangerous to do. I recommend contacting your local Ford dealer with your vehicle identification number to verify the maximum towing capacity of your tuck before towing. Unfortunately adding suspension enhancement will not increase your truck's load capacity, however, it will aid in...

  • Availability of Firestone Air Command Compressor II Kit with Smaller Air Tank
  • The tank of the Firestone compressor kits like the # F2549 is required if you want to inflate a tire according to my contact at Firestone. I asked about an option with a smaller tank and they recommended the Air Command II part # F2168. Firestone also mentioned that the bigger the tank the faster it will inflate a tire but could not give me specifics on how fast it can inflate a tire like yours. The 1/2 gallon tank can be filled from 0 to 30 psi in 7 seconds and 0 to 60 psi in 18 seconds...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel w/ a 3 Inch Lift
  • Yes, we do. For your 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel with a 3" lift, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers item # AL89275. This system has a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity. The internal jounce bumper will give you extra support if you are running low air pressure in the bags. The exact size spacer you need will depend on just how much the suspension was lifted on your truck as not all 3" lifts are equal and a 3" lift does not necessarily mean...

  • What is the Weight Capacity of the Center Point Air-Ride Suspension System for Tandem Axles?
  • I reached out to my tech contact at Lippert and their engineers stated the Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391 can be used on up to 8,000 lb axles. They don't have a specific GVWR for the trailer as that weight can vary on coupler/pin box weights, but obviously this system will support up to 16,000 lbs of constant load. Unfortunately that means it is not compatible with 10K axles. If that works for your application, you can use a compressor system...

  • Will the Air Lift Load Lifter Fit My 2011 Ford F-250 With a Leveling Kit?
  • The air bags in the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88396 have a 6" design height. This is the height that the bag is recommended to be when there is no additional weight on the suspension. The additional 1-1/2" should be made up with the brackets that the air bags mount to. Typically a leveling kit will only lift the front of the truck and not alter the rear suspension. Be sure to look at the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ. This will allow...

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get these air bags set up. Since your truck has a 4" lift you will need a spacer. The size of the spacer will be determined off of how big of lift you have in the rear so you will want to measure if you're unsure. If you have a 2"-3" lift in the rear you...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2022 Ram 2500 w/ a 1-1/2 Inch Rear Lift

This set of air bags is also compatible with in bed hitches. I have linked an installation video below that will help you get this system set up. I have reached out to Airlift before and they state that on trucks that have have less than a 2" rear lift, a spacer kit shouldn't be needed for installation and proper performance. Neither...

  • Are Air Bag Capacities Total or Per Side for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • That's a good question, and the air bag capacity is the total capacity and not per side. Having said that, the capacity is just designed to help support the tongue weight - the weight on the rear axle of your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 - so air bags rated at 7,500 lbs on your truck would definitely be overkill, which is why the ones that fit your Chevy are only rated for up to 5,000 lbs. I really like the Air Lift air bags for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, as they are a high-quality air...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2004 P32 Workhorse
  • The difference would be capacity and you would notice it. However, I checked with Airlift and there are no 1,000 HD bags that will fit your 2004 P32 Workhorse. The only option for air bags other than the Air Lift 1000 item # AL81560 you referenced is to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88219. These are for your rear suspension and have a 5,000 lbs capacity. I also recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor item # AL58WQ to your RV. This onboard...

  • Firestone or Air Lift Air Bags for a 2016 Toyota Tundra
  • I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift Kit item # AL88299 you were looking at. For your 2016 Toyota Tundra, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2445. These air bags have a 4,800 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep your rear end from squatting when you are pulling your horse trailer. I have attached a photo of the crimp roll for you, along with a review...

  • How Much Air Pressure Needs to Be Used in Firestone Air Bags
  • The recommended pressure you'll need from the Firestone air bag kit part # F2071 will be the amount that allows the truck to sit level. The max pressure rating is 100 psi so you'll need to stay under that. When not towing you want to keep at least 5 psi in the bags at all times to prevent the bags from deforming and damaging themselves. For an easy way to inflate and maintain the bags you can use a compressor kit like the part # F2097. It gives you a gauge you mount in the cab of your...

  • Air Lift Air Bag Kit & Compressor for 2010 Ram 2500 4x4
  • The Air Lift rear-axle air bag kits made for your 2010 Ram 2500 4x4 are both rated for 5000-lbs of load support and both can be seen on the linked page. These two kits differ in that part # AL88295 includes internal jounce bumpers that can work even if the air bags have no pressure in them. Kit # AL57295 is a standard air bag without jounce bumpers. With either one you can add a compressor to allow automated pressure control from the comfort of the cab. The various compressors offered...

  • The Firestone Heavy Duty Air Compressor item # F9499 can be mounted in any position or orientation. Firestone recommends it be installed on the frame rail of your 2016 Toyota Tundra. There is no specific spot the compressor is supposed to be installed, so essentially you can mount it wherever is the easiest and most convenient for you. You can use either of the two mounting kits listed below to help with the installation process: No-Drill Mount Kit for Firestone Air Command 2610 item...

  • How Often Should Air Lift Air Helper Springs For 2016 Toyota Sequoia 4WD Be Inflated
  • While there are no Timbrens that fit your 2016 Toyota Sequoia 4WD, the air helper springs you asked about will fit, with the correct part for your Sequoia being the following from Air Lift: - Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60826 In regards to filling them, there isn't a specific set amount of time, but they need to have a minimum of 5 psi in them at all times, and need to be checked for pressure at least once per week.

  • What Are The Minimum and Maximum Air Pressures Allowed In The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs F4150?
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4150 for your 2005 Infiniti QX56 require a minimum of 5psi to prevent damage to the bags. The maximum air pressure should not exceed 35psi or you risk damaging the bags. I find having an onboard compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 will help you dial in your ride quality while you drive. This system includes a wireless remote that will allow you to adjust the suspension while you drive or from outside the vehicle...
